Salute the sun. It may just give you that malignant melanoma that’ll kill you before the world really goes to s***.
10) BREAKOUT!
24th April
What: The DJs that brought you Lockdown Getdown and the Bunker Club present the party that you Diehards and Bunker Clubbers have been waiting for: BREAK OUT! Taking you on a dancefloor journey of disco, house, funk and the great dance decades.
Why: Every day we wonder when funk’s going to die. Then we strip down to nothing but our sequinned half jacket and rollerblades, flash the neighbourhood kids and remember how fun the genre can be.

7) Electric Mary: Live
24th April
What: Electric Mary are a classic rock band hailing from Melbourne, Australia. The band formed in 2003 and named themselves after Mary Campbell, friend and manager of Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios in New York City. After finalising a lineup that understood what life looked like playing in an old school rock band, They were taken on the road as supports for Whitesnake, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple and Glenn Hughes. Experience this band live.
Why: See Whitesnake’s favourite supporting act. You know, Whitesnake. The band that wrote ‘Kitten’s Got Claws’ on purpose.

6) React
23rd April
What: React’s electronic music was borne from futurism. The concept endured through refraction, a complexity which morphed into something completely original. The new glow is strangely different, yet familiar. Explore the past through the filtered lens of the future. This is trance. This is breaks. This is techno. This is rave. This is house. This is electro. This is experimental. This is acid. It is old and it is new. Stay calm and you will react accordingly. It is what it is.
Why: With that many disclaimers and clarifications you’d think this was an ad for erection pills.
